How to create TMLC accounts for Students

*Please review thoroughly *before* adding accounts to TMLC

TO: Technology Facilitators

You should have created accounts for all of your teachers at this point-- if you have not, please go back to the instructions for creating accounts for teachers (click here): Creating Accounts for Teachers.

The process for creating student accounts is slightly different, so please review the information below before getting started.

NOTE: Best browser for managing data in TMLC: Chrome, then Safari and Firefox. IE9 is definitely not recommended for using TMLC in general.

Let's get started!

STEP 1:

A) Go to your school's dedicated login page and log in

B) For Technology Facilitators with access to multiple schools: go to your default school's dedicated login page and log in. Select the school that you want to administer via the Change School link.

Reset (Delete All Users): resets the Student license to 0 registered users so that a new set of student accounts may be created (also available via the Users List). This deletes all student data, including maps.

Export: to export the Users List to a .csv file (also available via the Users List)

STEP 4a: Add new user

Choose this option to add 1 new student account at a time. Follow the on screen instructions.

STEP 4b: Add users in bulk

Choose this option to:

ADD: Add multiple student accounts at one time. For example, if you chose the Reset option earlier, you would choose this bulk upload option.

START FRESH: Delete all existing student accounts and create fresh, new student accounts -- all at once, in one upload. NOTE: this will delete all existing student account data including maps.

STEP 5:PLEASE REVIEW the instructions on the Upload Users screen as well as the instructions below. Be sure to DOWNLOAD TEMPLATE as instructed:

NOTE: Thinking Maps does not send notification emails to Students.

STEP 6: Find the downloaded template in your Downloads folder. The file name will be Student Users.xlsx

(feel free to rename the file, but ensure that it remains as an .xlsx)

Please do NOT change anything in the file itself including cell formats.
